CHAPTER XII

The conference between Lady Lydiard and
Mr.. Troy, on the way back to London, led to
some practical results.
Hearing from her legal adviser that the
inquiry after the missing money was for the
moment at a standstill, Lady Lydiard made
one of those bold suggestions with which she
was accustomed to startle her friends in cases
of emergency She had heard favorable re-
ports of the extraordinary ingenuity of the
French police, and she now proposed sending
TO Paris for assistance, after first consulting
her nephew, Mr.. Felix Sweetsir. Felix
knows Paris as well as he knows London, y she
remarked. "He is an idle man. and it is quite
likely that he will relieve us of all trouble by
taking the matter into his own hands. In
any case, he is sure TO know who are the
right people to address in our present neces-
sity. What do you sayN
Mr. Troy in reply, expressed his doubts as
to the wisdom of employing foreigners in a
delicate investigation which required an &C
ctIFate knowledge of English customs aad
EnglIsh character Waving this objection,
he approved of the idea of consulting her
ladyship's nephew. 'Mr Sweetsir is a man
of the world he said. in putting the case
before him, we are sure to have it presented
to us from new point of view" Acting on
this favorable expression of opinion, Lady
Lydiard wrote to her nephew. On the day
after the visit to Miss Pink the proposed
council of three was held at Lady Lydiard's
house.
Felix, never punctual in keeping an ap
pointment, was even later than usual ON this
occasion. He made his apologies with his
hand pressed on his forehead, and his voiet
expressive Of the languor and discourage
ment Of q suffering man.
"The beastly English climate Is telling OF

"Are you aware Of who Mr.. Hardyman

to adoptl / can tell you, il you do, that
Alfred Hardyman is the younger son of

answer which administered by implication
a dignifed reproof. "Your ladyship's dog
